Derailleur won't shift into lowest gear

The bike shifts into every gear except for the easiest. I've adjusted the limit screws, but it didn't do any good. The Derailleur and shifter are shimano XT. I think the problem might be in the shifters but i'm not sure. How can i fix this?

If you've tried the high and low screws then try the cable tension barrel...if that doesnt work make sure the cable is tight(mayhave stretched a bit) if it isnt any of those then the indexing is off in your shifter

the same thing happened to me. your problem is the chain is too short, possibly just too short to reach around the largest gear in the back. well at least thats my problem. by the time my chain is trying to go into 1'st gear, the deraileur is useless because its stretched all the way out. you might want a new chain if thats the problem. or go ss

Take a 5mm allen tool and disconnect the cable.Manually shift the derailleur into the highest gear.If that works then turn the cable tensioner all the way in.Reconnect the cable and tension it properly, using the tensioner for fine tuning.

If you can't manually shift the derailleur into that gear then you have problem with something being bent. Look it over and make sure nothing is out of line.
